The problem is he's basing his decision off of less than one year of Benson ownership, but is using OKC (in year 3 of KD's career) and San Antonio (Year 3 of their program)... totally unfair, give us at least 3 years too

We should be fine once AD gets healthy, Gordon actually plays, a key FA pickup in the offseason, and possibly a good lottery pick... THEN we could be judged, right now, we're just hustling for wins

I wish you would've said it was a Jeff Duncan article. I wouldn't have bothered clicking it.

The guy is a cancer to New Orleans sports. He does not deserve to have a job in this market. He does not understand sports at all. Anyone calling a rebuild a failure only 15 games in and without its two best player just proves they are ignorant.

Amen. He doesn't have a clue about basketball or football. Honestly, I don't know one person who likes this clown. And for good reason. What a joke of an article.

"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

The rebuilding isn't over yet, he's wrong for making it seem like it's a failure. Maybe if we are showing no progress next season or the year after then yes, it's a failure.

But like someone alluded to, he's right that the "buzz" is gone. Davis has missed more games than played which took off all the sails as of right now on the excitement fans had for him. The team is struggling on the court and look much less competitive than last season. The whole Eric Gordon saga. And the buzz that fans had after Benson bought the team clearly has gone down since. But it's still early.

Last year Duncan figured out that people pay more attention to you when you're the bad guy so he welcomed that role. He's a wanna be P.Prisco/Cowherd now. Just ignore that clown and see what he has to say in a month when the teams is healthy

This. The comparisons to other teams was unnecessary, but he address the fact that Gordon and Davis is out. He simply points out the fact that the buzz is down and from what I can tell it is. Not sure of this guy history of reports, but just based off of this article there's no major swipes at the Hornets.

I don't know anybody who has actually watched Hornets games who doesn't think we'd be .500 if Eric Gordon was healthy and playing.

Most of our first 5 losses were within 5 points and came down to the wire. There was a point where we realistically would have been 6-0 if Eric Gordon had been healthy.

Now with Ant'n'y Davis (as Kaare Johnson calls him) out as well it's no wonder that we're one of the worst teams in the league. If you take the two best players off of ANY NBA team they're going to struggle (well, except for the Timberwolves apparently).

Honest to God, I don't even see the point of bringing Gordon back until very late in the season if this sounds like rest could really help his knee heal properly. AD needs playing time - Gordon needs to be 100% for next year when we'll be legit playoff contenders.
